We went to Pondy for a business meet and we stayed in this hotel in the month of June. First thing i was impressed is with the reception. People were very cooperative. Hotel entrance was nicely decorated.We reached very late, the lunch timings were closed. Still, they could manage to get sambar rice and curd rice as per our request.

The rooms, were bit small but the furnishings were very gud. Reg the food, good quality, authentic south indian dishes were provided. Best is the curd rice that tasted YUM. !Location wise: Though this hotel is located near to the market place and has gud access to beach and inside Pondy but you would miss the view of seaside.

For a shorter period, this is definitely a gud stay

Room Tip: Rooms in the first floor were gud

This place is a dump. I stayed for only one night. I slept in the bed with dirty linens, had my clothes on and left the lights on. The room was dirty, dingy and warn out. The bathroom was disgusting, with mold in the shower everywhere. The toilet stunk like urine. This room wasn't any better than a grass shack on the roadside. The only good point was quick room service and decent food, pizza anyway. Traveler beware!

Room Tip: Don't stay at this hotel.

I stayed in this hotel during december for 1 night with my family. The hotel is located in the main street and can be easily located. the front lobby looks fantastic. The checkin process was smooth and staff are generally helpful. rooms are large and can easily accommodate 3 adults. the decor in bathroom is average. it was clean and nothing to complain about. Car park is inadequate (i parked my car in front of the gate and got a new scratch in next morning).the hotel is around 3 kms from the beach and front quarters. you can take an auto rickshaw to avoid parking problems.

The biggest negative was the breakfast. i went to the resturant and the south indian fare was pathetic. I left the place with my family with out having the breakfast. if you are looking for good south indian breakfast, visit Adyar Ananda bhavan or Saravana bhavan which is around 2-3 Kms away.

Not sure if i will visit this place again. probably i may stay some where close to the beach/french quarters

The hotel and staff were very good. There were few issues. The shower joint was rusted and when i turned it up, it broke and fell on me badly hurting my lower lip. The pool is very small, but the hotel is centrally located. Food is up to mark for the prices. I would recommend trying the renaissance restaurant instead of the veg buffet.

On Expedia, the rates for this hotel are comparable to others in Puducherry, India. I booked this hotel based on its proximity to downtown Puducherry, and photos posted by the hotel management. The room didn't look like what was posted. Washroom door was worn, and appeared to show mold on the edges. During our stay, we easily heard noises from the hallway in the room. There were noises from construction one floor above, even at 10:47pm. Water in the rooftop pool was not clear; it looked cloudy. The food served from the two restaurants appeared to contain MSG. We stayed in mid December, which is suppose to be the peak season, yet it seemed the hotel was less than 50% occupied. I give credit to the hotel & restaurant staff. They tried to please. That was the saving grace of our stay.

Room Tip: Choose room away from the noisy street
